United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Jackson, Henry, 1778-18401812-11-26This is a letter from Henry Jackson at Franklin College (the University of Georgia) in Athens to Governor David B. Mitchell (Governor of Georgia, 1809-1813 and 1815-1817) in Milledgeville. Jackson's letter primarily concerns the poor quality of both Franklin College and the grammar school in Athens. Jackson goes on to talk about a man named Mr. Warren, whom he had hoped to hire at Franklin College and had lately been in the Cherokee Nation at Chief John Ross's home. The letter also recommends that a young graduate of Franklin College, Nathaniel Ashley, receive an appointment in the army. Jackson explains that Ashley's father's plantation had been attacked by unnamed Indians, and he sends him with this letter to meet Mitchell in Milledgeville.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegkrc104engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Keith Read, box 14, folder 13, document 01.University of GeorgiaGeorgia.
